Pick by what you need
interesting facts from for marketing teams
Marketing teams pick tools to move faster. Speed matters. They want to test ideas without waiting weeks. They need something that fits into their stack and doesn't slow them down. Ignore the dashboards with ten thousand metrics. Find what tells you if the thing worked.
The real choice comes down to what your team actually does each day. Some teams need automation. Some need creativity. Most need both. Start there, not with price or the vendor's promises. Watch how it handles your actual work before you commit.
